Once a candidate expresses interest by submitting an online profile, the federal government assesses their eligibility for a program overseen by Entry. Those who meet the criteria are entered into the Express Entry pool and ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). This CRS is a point-based framework that the government employs to evaluate and score candidates within the pool. A candidate’s CRS score considers factors such as age, education, work experience, language abilities and other relevant criteria.
The Canadian government then chooses the top-scoring candidates from the Express Entry pool, granting them an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency. Additionally, Canada offers specific categories through which certain candidates might qualify for ITAs via category-based selection.
Canadian Experience Class
It enables skilled workers with at least one year of Canadian experience to apply for residency.
Federal Skilled Worker Program

Provincial Nomination Program
The PNP allows provinces to nominate individuals for Canadian PR based on local needs.
Federal Skilled Trades Program
